Double Click - Millisecs

[Phil Jones]

Does anyone know where to get the double-click delay (ms) that the user sets
in their ControlPanel. Is that an environment variable that is available.
Can't see it on the Environment object.

Thanks

Almost anything you can set in Control Panel is stored in the Registry,
including Mouse Settings. So, what you need to do is to modify the System
Registry. The Mouse settings are stored in the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse

The one you want to change is DoubleClickSpeed, which is in milliseconds.

This is done using the Microsoft.Win32.Registry and
Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey classes.

I just flew in from Chicago with
a man with a wooden leg named Smith
who shot an elephant in my pajamas.
So I bit him.

Check out the DoubleClickTime property in the SystemInformation class. There
is also a DoubleClickSize property, which I suspect may be useful for what
you are doing.
